Morning slips through Dust turning slow in the light Same quiet yet not you Same thoughts with less sight The dark and smoke in the daylight Drifting soft through the room I was so close to the moment I could almost assume The dark and smoke in the daylight Every time I coped Everything I wanted Every time I hoped Everything I ever wanted Turned to darkness and smoke I’ve stood outside a thousand moments Watching other people live Like the world’s a crowded table With no extra seat to give The dark and smoke in the daylight Drifting soft through the room I was so close to the moment I could almost assume The dark and smoke in the daylight Every time I coped Everything I wanted Every time I hoped Everything I ever wanted Turned to darkness and smoke Memorized the shape of maybe Every version of “not yet” People talk about arriving I keep walking past regret The dark and smoke in the daylight Drifting soft through the room I was so close to the moment I could almost assume The dark and smoke in the daylight Every time I coped Everything I wanted Every time I hoped Everything I ever wanted Turned to darkness and smoke Still I open up the blind Still I let the daylight in Like the world might change its mind If I just roll again The dark and smoke in the daylight Drifting soft through the room I was so close to the moment I could almost assume The dark and smoke in the daylight Every time I coped Everything I wanted Every time I hoped Everything I ever wanted Turned to darkness and smoke
